“…As an international common encryption algorithm, block cipher has been widely used in security systems such as IoT, aerospace, medical, transportation, finance, and identity verification [1][2][3][4][5]. Since the proposal of the advanced encryption standard (AES), as an important part of block cipher, many attack methods have emerged against its hardware and software [1,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13], and, among these attack methods, fault attacks have the advantages of high attack capability and low time complexity, which pose a great threat to the security of the AES [5,[11][12][13].…”

The infection countermeasure, in which the main idea is to prevent adversaries from exploiting faulty ciphertexts to break the key by spreading the induced fault, is a very effective countermeasure against fault attacks. However, most existing infection countermeasures struggle to defend against double-fault attacks effectively due to the single-fault assumption. By analyzing the principle of infection mechanism and adding different random Boolean masks in the two encryption paths, this paper proposes a measure called a random mask infection countermeasure to defend against double-fault attacks. In addition, the multiplication mask is used to randomize the fault diffusion to further resist single-byte fault attacks. The experimental results indicate that the random mask infection countermeasure proposed can perform fault diffusion effectively when the cryptographic circuit suffers double-fault attacks, and the fault diffusion shows randomness, and can effectively defend against these fault attacks.

“…Since the manifestation of a fault depends on the state of the logic gate under attack (Fig. 1), the adversary can monitor the response of the system to the attack (whether the alarm was raised or not), and depending on the response, probe the output of the logic gate indirectly (using Side Channel Analysis (SCA)) to acquire information [30], [31], [32].…”

Optical fault injection is a type of attack vector targeting cryptographic circuits where the adversary injects faults during system operation to bypass defenses or reveal secret information. Since preventing this kind of attack is generally impractical, most known countermeasures focus on indirect (logic based) or direct detection. Indirect detection mechanisms monitor the effects of optical fault injections in a circuit, whereas direct sensors track the illumination itself. In this paper, we present a compact 1.29µm×1.8µm direct optical sensor implemented in 65nm CMOS technology located inside the digital logic fabric. Because it is based on standard CMOS technology, it can be implemented using standard design flow. Measurements on four dedicated chips showed high sensitivity to fault injection attacks: the sensor was 2 to 6 times more sensitive than the combinational logic it protects. As a result of the sub-Vt operation of the transistors, these sensors exhibited post-attack self-recovery ability and high reliability, with a false positive rate under PVT of less than 10 −7 .INDEX TERMS Direct sensor, hardware security, laser fault injection, optical sensor I.
